ARTICLE" "Software's Chronic Crisis"
by tcmay＠netcom.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The latest "Scientific American," September 1994, has an excellent article entitled "Software's Chronic Crisis," by W. Wayt Gibbs. It discusses a lot of issues related to crypto, especially to the deployment of robust systems that can be built upon. Brad Cox is quoted. I'm not going to type in sections--go out and find this issue yourself. If you want to. --Tim May -- .......................................................................... Timothy C.

The Real Revolution: Net Guerrillas, from The Netly News (fwd)

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 21 Jul 1997 21:53:56 -0700 (PDT) From: Declan McCullagh <declan(a)well.com> To: fight-censorship-announce(a)vorlon.mit.edu Subject: The Real Revolution: Net Guerrillas, from The Netly News ------ http://cgi.pathfinder.com/netly/opinion/0,1042,1183,00.html The Netly News Network (http://netlynews.com/) July 21, 1997 The Real Revolution: Net Guerrillas by Elizabeth Frantz The recent kidnapping and assassination of Spanish politician Miguel Angel Blanco by the Basque separatist group ETA has ignited a violent backlash that is spilling into cyberspace. In the wake of the widespread protest against ETA, the Spanish government requested last week that the Cable News Network (CNN) remove its link to the group's web site. Miguel Garzon, spokesman for the Spanish Embassy in Washington D.C., defended the move by saying the ETA should be considered terrorist and not separatist, and therefore links should not be made to them. The ETA has killed nearly 800 people since it took up arms in 1968 to fight for independence for Spain's northern Basque provinces. CNN refused the Spanish government's request, saying that it was standard practice to provide links that relate to the subject matter -- even if the subject is terrorism. More and more terrorist groups are creating pockets of resistance online, a fact that is beginning to raise serious questions, especially for educational institutions, where John Q.

Queen of Pseudononymity

http://customnews.cnn.com/cnews/pna.show_story?p_art_id=186693&p_section_na… British Queen Admits to Being a Keen Web Surfer NewsBytes 22-JUL-97 LONDON, ENGLAND, 1997 JUL 22 (Newsbytes) -- By Sylvia Dennis. Buckingham Palace's press office has revealed that one of the reasons for the opening of the Royal World Wide Web site at http://www.royal.gov.uk in March of this year was Queen Elizabeth's fondness of the Internet. According to press reports in the serious UK press over the weekend, both The Queen and her husband, HRH Prince Phillip, The Duke of Edinburgh, are keen users of the Internet. The Queen is apparently using Internet e-mail to keep in touch with favored UK citizens. Rather than use the obvious e-mail address of one(a)buckinghampalace.co.uk, however The Queen is apparently using a number of pseudonyms to hide her true identity. Only the recipients of her e-mail are alleged to know who is really behind their messages. -- He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
